Gen Robert List told the ate Finance Committee today that the results of a study con- fat content and pricing of ground beef were ing and that labeling practices for other cuts of beef make comparative shopping all but impossible List unveiled results of a study into 26 stores throughout the state performed by the Meat Inspection Division of the Nevada Department of Health The tests on hamburger meat dealt with relative fat content in three classes of ground beef Auto workers want Gray vote withheld WASHINGTON AP The United Auto Workers asked the Senate Judiciary Committee Monday to withhold its vote on approval of L Patrick Gray III as FBI director until all the facts are in on the bugging of Democratic Headquarters in the Watergate complex last year Stephen I Schlossberg the union's general counsel also raised a number of questions on Gray's past performance in government office including a speech he gave last March when he was assistant Attorney General in charge of the civil division During the March 24 speech before the Wage Price Control Workshop Gray criticized four members of organized labor for walking off the federal Pay Board Schlossberg said Gray presented the position in assailing top labor leaders for their stand on the Nixon administration's ic control program Mr Gray's remarks were nothing more than the in- accurate and venemous attack of a routine political hatchet said Schlossberg I wonder if so partisan a person is the proper man to head the Federal Bureau of tion The labor representative said Gray has testified before the committee that in dealing with the White House in the gate investigation he has a presumption of larity I says faerg in his dealings with labor whether he will be assuming a presumption of irregularity OPEN HEARINGS Schlossberg also said the ate has established a select committee to investigate the Watergate affair and asked that the hearings on Gray's nomination be kept open till the inquiry is completed He also said he wondered whether FBI crime statistics were furnished to the White House for political use and whether Gray should have made speeches around the country during the last political campaign with price ranges of 73 to 89 cents a pound 89 cents to a pound and to a pound The results of this series of tests were List said At 10 of the 26 locations the higher priced product contained either the same amount or a greater amount of fat than the lesser priced uct At one location List noted the meat selling for a pound contained centage of fat 17 per cent as meat selling for a pound The attorney general added that another store sold meat at 83 cents a pound and at a pound with the same fat con- per cent which is above the federal allowable limit of 30 per cent fat content for ground beef For one product labeled not to exceed 15 per cent List said the product contained 22 per cent fat The study was performed from Jan 23 through Feb 16 of this year And List noted that a national consumer publication says that the total consumption of hamburger products in the country is 11.3 billion pounds per year Other cuts of meat List said are advertised with some 212 variations in the names listed for steaks and 151 variations in the names listed for roasts This proliferation of names is all the more when one considers that the variety of names evolved from fresh beef items obtained from eight primary cuts of beef List said the multiple ing designations for beef has made it all but impossible for the average consumer to en- gage in comparison ping List recommended that the committee support the Meat Inspection Division with the explicit under- standing that it undertake to exercise its power to correct these inequities Grand jury meets n n FBI man shot WOUNDED KNEE AP Hopes for a
